Summary

Time for another Halloween week Nightmare Fuel! This one is from this past May. And in it, we head to Upstate New York's Woodhull Mountain, where Gabe and Hassan see a very strangely placed house on the side of the hill while out on a hike. When Gabe enters the house, he leaves behind our world, and enters a space outside of it - a dark and mysterious space dedicated mostly... to pain. Hope you like it!

0:00.0	The Welcome to this next edition of Nightmarefuel, Meet Sacks.
0:32.1	Like I mentioned with yesterday's release, for anyone confused right now, last February,
0:36.7	I began writing short fictional horror
0:38.4	stories and releasing two a month on the scared-to-death feed. The first Friday and the third
0:43.0	Friday. The Fridays I'm not releasing short sucks. They've gotten a lot of positive feedback. I wanted
0:48.2	to showcase them here for anyone who maybe hasn't checked them out already because they don't
0:52.0	fully understand what they are. They are immersively scored, cinematically written, original fictional horror stories.
0:58.3	And for the week of Halloween, I'm dropping five of my favorites right here on the time suck feed.
1:03.0	I'll release three more, the final dropping this Friday on Halloween.

1:09.0	If you don't like these, just skip them.
1:11.0	If you do, I now have over 40 of them over on the Scared to Death podcast feed for you to
1:15.5	enjoy. Many are standalone, some are sequential. This one is called The House of Hurt. And it
1:22.3	originally came out back on May 2nd of this year, episode 31 of Nightmare Fuel. This is one I worried would come
1:29.7	across as an absolutely confusing, complete waste of a story, a total mess. But to my surprise,
1:37.8	it became many listeners' favorite. It's fucking brutal. Definitely not for the squeamish,
1:43.1	but I hope you enjoy it.
1:45.0	I highly recommend noise cancellation headphones to get the most out of Logan scoring.
1:50.1	Time now for the tale of the House of Hurt.
1:57.9	Gabe and Hassan were both getting more red-faced and sweaty by the minute.
2:02.0	The trail guide had said their hike would be moderate, but this didn't feel moderate.
2:07.3	Gabe's quads were burning.
